From Barren to Blossoming: A Backyard Revival


A neglected backyard undergoes a dramatic revival, evolving from a sparse area to a verdant haven. The transformation involves laying a lush lawn, updating the patio with natural stone and cozy furnishings, and curating a mix of plants for texture and color. Enhanced by subtle lighting and unique garden accents, the space is reborn as a personal sanctuary that beautifully marries form and function.

The transformation of the backyard is quite remarkable. Initially, the yard is a basic, unattended space with sparse grass and a plain concrete patio. It lacked any form of landscaping, garden features, or decorations, presenting a very utilitarian outdoor area adjacent to the house on the left.

In the after image, the same space has been completely overhauled to become a vibrant and lush garden. The lawn is now well-manicured and richly green, providing a soft carpet-like base for the array of landscaping around it. Diverse plant life, including ornamental grasses, flowering plants, and well-trimmed bushes, brings color and life to the area. The patio has been upgraded with stylish outdoor furniture, offering a comfortable and inviting space for relaxation or entertainment. Additionally, the ambiance is enriched with decorative outdoor lighting and the fence has been beautified with trellises for climbing plants. The transformation conveys a well-thought-out design that maximizes the use of space, creating an inviting outdoor oasis that complements the home.

Would you recommend the Riviera or S blade series for a backyard?

There are really not much of major differences between these two series other than the profile of the fiber and the color. Functions and performances for both artificial grass series are very similar, so if it is up to me to make a choice for my back yard, I will go with the color I like better: Riviera Monterey series’s color is a bit lighter and vibrant; the SBlade series’s color is a bit darker and more mature. When choosing an artificial grass product, another tip I can offer is to find a color similar to the natural grass in your area so make your turf blend in much better with even the natural grass in your neighborhood.

How do I know if my Turf was installed correctly in my backyard?

It is difficult to tell without seeing the process and results of the installation. Turf installers might use different installation materials that available locally and alternate the process from our recommendations while still achieving the goals such as proper drainage. Infills are recommended for the purpose of helping to hold down the turf and minimize contractions and expansions. Your installer is correct that most of our turf are thick and fluffy enough to stand up well, though. Sometimes people skip using infills because of budget or for small areas. In any case, uneven surface seems more like an installation issue. For any further questions, please feel free to call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected], thank you.

Also there are either 6 or 12 panels per box and the artificial ivy only be sold per box which is either 17 sf., or 34 sf. per box.

What are the differences between the different Olive grasses?

Olive is one of our key color definitions for certain artificial grass product lineup. All of our Olive grasses are actually with two colors: Olive Green and Emerald Green. Such color combination makes the turf look more of “Olive” therefore, we name the series as Olive. I would say most of our Olive grasses are made of the same color pigments, however, the shapes of the fibers are engineered differently, Olive-92Stemgrass has the fiber with a stem in it, while Olive-51 has the fiber shaped “Diamond”. Given the differences of the fiber shapes, thickness and pile height, even using the same color pigments, the overall appearance can be very different which makes our artificial grass product lines so versatile and vibrant!
